2015 - Google dropping support for XP, Vista, OSX 10.8
- Google reiterated their announcement from much earlier this year that they would no longer support XP, Vista and OSX 10.08 and earlier as of the end of 2015
- The banking system, specifically the PCI council, has announced that only advanced security like TLS 1.2 and later will be supported for authorization of credit cards.
- The PCI council is also requiring use of TLS 1.2 or later for web sites that support e-commerce in order to protect the consumer from fraud.
Theatre Manager is keeping abreast of these changes, many times on a daily basis. We continually update all of our software components to work with the latest security requirements.

What does this mean to your patrons and why is this a good thing? You will likely receive sporadic reports from customers indicating that they are unable to purchase tickets from your web site using their browser. The answer is to help them understand that, for their own safety, commerce relies on high security. Moreover, all the current browsers are implementing this requirement and removing support for older browsers. This is part of a concentrated effort on the part of Google, FireFox, Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge to move people to a place of safety. In many cases, all that a patron needs to do is switch browsers from older, no longer supported ones to the most current available. |
